Mark Robins has secured the impressive services of Ryan Shotton and Carl Dickinson from Stoke, these signings have been the difference between indifferent and consistantly good at Oakwell.

They are to stay on loan at Oakwell for the rest of the season which is a big positive for the reds, if we could get them on a permanent basis to build for the future then that would be amazing for the club. Whoever it is who's keeping Carl Dickinson out of the Stoke side must be some player!
